Water is the working fluid in a carnot vapor power cycle


Water is the working fluid in a Carnot vapor power cycle. Saturated liquid enters the boiler at a pressure of 160 bar, and saturated vapor enters the turbine. The condenser pressure is 0.08 bar. Determine

(a) the thermal efficiency.

(b) the back work ratio.

(c) the heat transfer to the working fluid per unit mass passing through boiler, in kJ/kg.

(d) the heat transfer from the working fluid per unit mass passing through the condenser, in kJ/kg.
